Lawyers Change Headuarters From
Moon to Library as Exams Approach
By Virginia Sslleck.
"The propinquity of final exami
nation week has caused the head
quarters of the law college to be
transferred from the Moon to the
Law library," according to Bill
Darrah. The statement was made
when your correspondent inquired
the reasons for the unusual activ
ity in the law building. The library
seethed with industrious students
laboriously perusing files and the
heavy texts. The professors sat
with fiendish glee concocting ex
aminations for Dean Foster's prot
egees. Cram sessions were being
held in every nook of the room.
"While the merits of this type of
study are questionable," said Mr.
Darrah, "it has its advantages in
that there is consolation in num
bers." Jerry Young said: "To have
some one else assure you that your
cracked theories are the law at
least provides self assurance and
may serve to bolster up your fail
ing courage." Jerry was copying
briefs out of a dictionary and he
merely mumbled when asked if he
expected to graduate 'cum laude.'
When asked if exams were wor
rying him, George Mickel, presi
dent of Phi Delta Phi, in a har
rassed manner, replied that the
show at the Stuart was very good
and that he rather liked exam
week because he has more leisure.

KAPPA PHI PLANS
EVENING MEETING
Methodist Sorority Will
Have Special Guests
On Occasion,
Kanna Phi. the Methodist so
rority is planning an evening
meeting to take place in Wesley
House on Thursday, Jan. u. .oars.
W. C. Fawell, Mrs. Victor West,
Mrs. O. A. Grubb. and Miss Ger
trude Beers, patronesses of Kappa
Phi, will act as hostesses.
Among the expected guests are
Mian Miriam of Dunkerton. na
tional secretary-treasure from Up
silon chapter, and Miss Lola An
tisdel of Ames, la. Miss Miriam
and Miss Antisdel will also attend
the Karma phi initiation at St
Paul M. E. church Sunday and the
alumnae meeting on xuesaay eve
ning.
Audrey Gregory complained that
since the library ' has been kept
open till midnight every night it Is
impossible to find any books. Ev
eryone seems to be smuggling
them out ir overcoats, hats and
other available implements. "We
really need the whole police force
over here to keep any volume on
the shelves," wailed Miss Gregory
as she seized a passing student and
extracted a fat text from his
sleeve.
John the Janitor is well pleased
with the extensive use of the books
which are being dusted now for
the first time this semester.
Bill Devereaux claims that he
can accomplish more in three
hours than anyone else can in
eighteen. How is that, Devereaux?
- The trouble is that each lawyer
thinks he is the least prepared for
the combat of anyone in his class
and that nothing but superhuman
effort or a divine providence can
possibly drag him from the quag
mire into which he has slipped.
This opinion is unfortunate in that
it leads to discussions and debates,
of which all the law students are
fonr, and ultimately causes the
cramming to be neglected for the
more interesting argument. The
purported conditions and high
ideals which usually impel the
scholars has been considerably
heightened bvthe more immediate
impulse of fear.

Work on the show will begin
with the selection of the cast and
appointment of committees for the

use an all male cast or mixed cast
will depend upon the play selected,

MODERNITY TO HALL
System Makes Handling
Of Raymond Calls
Quite Simple.
Among the conveniences and the
comforts in the new Carrie Belle
Raymond Hall is a modern tele
phone system. The telephone plans
offered for the building by the
commercial representatives who
worked with the university offi
cials and the architect, resulted in
the Installation of a fifty line priv
ate branch exchange switchboard
equipped with three trunk lines
and thirteen telephones, in addition
to the three public telephones con
veniently located thruout the build
ing. The University of Nebraska is
one of the first to utilize such a
complete plan of service. The ar
rangement is a decidedly practical
way of handling the communica
tion needs of a house of this size.
It provides ready means of reach
ing all of the girls living in the
building from any outside tele
phone. Virginia Jenkins, former em
ployee of the Lincoln Telephone
company, is in charge of the
switchboard. She is assisted in her
duties by Julienne Deetken.

Arndt Airs Views on Technocracy;
Indicates Its Good and Bad Points
Technocracy! What is it? Only
In the last few, months has the
word come to the fore and already
It has aroused a storm of contro
versy. Prof. K. M. Arndt of the eco
nomics department tells us what
he knows and what he thinks
about It. He is not quite sure that
the technocrats understand it
much better than anyone else.
The headquarters of the tech
nocracy group Is at Columbia uni
versity where they have been
charting the technological unem
ployment and growth of produc
tion in many products as well as
making an "energy" survey of the
continent of North America.
The general contention of the
technocrats Is that machinery has
been so perfected that the problem
of the satisfaction of material
wants has been solved. They pro
pose the elimination of the price
and monetary system. Everything
is to be measured in units of
energy. Instead of using money
and worrying about prices and
values as we now do they Intend
to calculate everything in "ergs"
or units of measured energy so
that all economic goods will be
dealt with in terms of the energy
used in producing them.
Machinery has reached the ad
vanced stage where it is practi
cally automatic and should serve
as man's slave and consequently
men should Have a great deal more
leisure. Four hours a day and fouri
LEGISLATORS
RECEIVE
TEMIZEO
STATEMENT
E
Reports Laid on Desks Each
Member; Chancellor Asks
All to Dinner 19th.
By Cliff H. Sandahl.
Of interest to the University of
Nebr.iaka before the Nebraska
state legislature on Tuesday were
the following two items:
1. Itemized reports of all ex
penses of the university were laid
on the desk of each member or tne
legislature.
2. Sneaker Geonre O'Mallev in
the house and Lieut. Gov. Walter
H. Jurgensen, presiding officer of
the senate, announced invitations
had been extended to members of
the legislature by Chancellor E. A.
Burnett to be guests at a dinner
at the student activities building
on the college of agriculture cam
pus Thursday, Jan. la.
The nurnose of the net together
on that date, Chancellor Burnett
explained in his communication, is
to "talk over matters of interest
to the university and the legisla
ture." In supplying each member of
the legislature with detailed ac
counts of the finances of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, L. E. Gunder
son, finance secretary of the board
of regents, extends an "invitation"
for any legislator to examine the
institution's "many activities and
especially the business depart
ments." The "invitation" is expressed in
a letter accompanying two vol
umes of financial reports for each
year of the past biennium, ending

KIDWELL LONGJN SERVICE
Quartermaster Celebrates
Fortieth Year With
Army This Week.
Col. F. A. Kidwell. quartermas
ter of the military department, is
this week celebrating his fortieth
year in active service with the
United States army. He enlisted in
January, 1893, in Evansville, Ind.,
as a recruit. He served first in the
Columbus barracks In Ohio.
He was appointed a captain in
1917 when he was in Alaska and
was made a lieutenant colonel in
the reserve corps in 1923.
days a week is the rough estimate
of what each man shall have to
work is the belief of the techno
crats. For this amount of labor
each man shall receive a sum of
somewhere in the neighborhood of
what is now $20,000.00 per year
and also have a much improvod
standard of living. Furthermore
the United States will be sufficient
unto itself and will have no use for
foreign importations.
Professor Arndt takes issue
very sharply with most of their
ideas. He believes that techno
cracy, in trying to dispense with
value, attempts to eliminate human
beings from the economic system
altogether, merely because In some
few. industries there has been a re
markable advance in machine
methods. The technocrats have
taken only Isolated cases, unscien
tifically studied, with which to
prove their argument.
"Production without any refer
ence to value (which, by the way,
the technocrats do not understand)
is Impossible. The price system is
essential to measure value whether
money Is based on gold, paper,
silver or "ergs." Of course the
measurement is imperfect but we
cannot eliminate value on that ac
count. Neither can technocracy
for whether goods are produced by
machines or men is, in a sense,
irrelevant to the price system or
to the entire process of economic
valuation," Arndt declared.
